The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 43: The Sleeping King (Part 1)

The last picture remaining in the "world" is the stern face of the unicorn rider high above, with a cry of pain, brought into the display from the virtual world, and the operator plopped and fell to the ground with a chair to cover the outside world The dark helmet of the senses fell down, revealing a pale face covered with sweat, "Yes, I'm sorry." The man got up in embarrassment and apologized, staring in horror at the manager on the platform overlooking the hall,

"Your role is dead. This is only the third month of joining. I am very disappointed by your ability. Colonel John Giggert of the Delta Force recommended you to me. I did not expect that in such a short period of time. Most of it is lost inside. It’s hard to match the reputation. It seems that Americans’ ability to brag is not bad.” The person on the platform said, “The deacon will go to Asia to participate in the temporary meeting convened by the speaker. Now I’m telling Levi Tan has absolute command power, what about you..."

"Logistics, handyman, security, everything is fine, the deputy deacon, as long as you let me stay in Leviathan and transfer me to any position, everything is my fault, if you can forgive me ..." The retired soldier couldn't finish his words, his pupils suddenly dilated, his body fell heavily to the ground like a wooden stake, his nose hit the ground and exploded bleeding,

"Clean up." The deputy deacon waved his hand boredly, "The character dies, and the implanted terminal must be destroyed. This is the basic rule of Leviathan, so stupid to intercede with me... American, huh. "His cocked tail finger gently pushed the handle of Vientiane, and the mobile platform suspended above the hall began to move forward, "Chief, should you react?"

A middle-aged white man immediately stood up from behind the screen and replied nervously: "Yes, I will take responsibility, the deputy deacon, candidate No. 42 did cause a lot of trouble, I will immediately Adjusting the power will completely obliterate him."

"Well, give you one week, no, give me five days. After five days, if candidate No. 42 does not disappear, you will disappear, my dear director." The deputy deacon dropped a sentence and floated. The platform turned dexterously and flew smoothly to another room,

The director wiped a cold sweat from his forehead and shouted: "Tell the handyman to drag this idiot out of the ground and set the priority of No. 42 to the highest. Now who is not on duty, go to the'black room' and ask the consultants. Going online, it seems we must rely on their power."

"A consultant on the third floor, but..." An operator in a dark blue uniform stood up and hesitated,

"Yes, Giles, go and wake them up, I will bear all the consequences." The chief frowned deeply,

The operator named Giles nodded embarrassingly, but left his position and walked along the light blue and gray passage into the adjacent room. The small room less than five square meters was empty without any decorations. He pressed With the next button, the room vibrated slightly and began to move down the deep well. Ten seconds later, the elevator room stopped moving, the sliding door slowly opened, and the operator swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Outside the door is total darkness, like a chaos before Genesis, there is no light here. The few LED spotlights at the top of the room project a faint light, barely illuminating the floor within three steps, Jill Si took the courage to take the first step. After taking a few steps, the elevator door closed behind him, and the beam of light immediately became narrow, and then disappeared completely.

Darkness swallowed him. This is a completely dark room. There is no trace of light around. The huge sense of loneliness immediately began to erode Giles’ heart, which made him involuntarily shout: "Mr. Consultant, Mr. Consultant, I am Giles in the third game of Leviathan, please..." After yelling for half of his words, he realized that his voice had become extremely weird, completely different from usual. At this moment, he suddenly sounded. The walls of this room are sound-absorbing. Made of highly capable polymer honeycomb material, sound waves will not form diffuse reflections on the wall. The sound you hear is conducted through bones. In fact, the ears can’t hear the feedback sound waves at all.

There is no light, no sound, and no smell. The ventilation device in every corner has an activated carbon adsorption structure to purify the air to be colorless and odorless. The temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable for human survival, and the humidity is a percentage. Forty-seven, people do not feel cold or hot here. The exposed skin is as comfortable as soaking in warm water, so comfortable that there is no feeling. If you stay in this environment for a few hours, you will be inspired by yourself. The various sounds, smells, feelings and fantasies in my body are tortured crazy,

The Adam’s apple rolled, Giles swallowed again. He tried to recall the topographic map of the black room. He walked forward seven steps, turned to the right ninety degrees, and moved forward five steps. You should be able to find the first consultant. The ice coffin, having said that, it was impossible to judge the direction of advancement in the dark. After a few steps cautiously, Giles kicked the hard steel object with his right foot and groaned in pain. Judging from the position, he should be heading. Deviated from the left by about one meter, Giles fumbled for the steel components, turned to the right, corrected the direction and walked a few steps, luckily touched a cold coffin,

Regardless of whether there are dead or alive people lying inside, the word "coffin" always gives people bad associations. Giles fumbled forward with fear and slid his fingers across the smooth metal coffin lid. Finally, he was in the coffin. At the end, I touched a metal cylinder and found the operating platform at the top of the cylinder. There were densely packed buttons and a handle switch on it. Giles repeatedly confirmed the position of the button and completed a set of quite complicated operations, and finally pressed it hard. The button on the far right, when I heard a "click" from the electromagnetic valve, I immediately took two steps back, holding my breath and looking at the darkness in front of me,

The humming noise of the electric motor sounded, followed by the sliding sound of the mechanical parts, the sound of the stopper, the sound of jets and the sound of liquid flowing. Valve made a "click" again, and all the noise disappeared in an instant. Giles' fingers were shaking. Even if he tried his best to widen his eyes, he couldn't see what was happening in front of him. The plot of horror films followed, and he felt that there might be something at any time. A rotten face appeared in front of his eyes, or a slippery cold hand touched his neck,

But there was nothing. For ten minutes, he stood alone in the dark, waiting for the owner of the ice coffin to wake up, but when the sound came, he was still shocked and his heart beating violently almost jumped out Chest cavity,

"Why bother me."

An extremely dry, distorted male voice said word by word, using very substandard English,

Gills covered his chest with his hands and shivered and replied: "Consultant, Mr. Counselor, I am Giles Eberstein in the third game of Leviathan. The director ordered me to wake you up and participate in the contest. The encirclement and suppression of the..."

"I am the only one, and everyone else." The consultant who was resurrected from the freezing was silent for a while before speaking,

"Everyone." Giles replied tremblingly,

Since the two people were standing face to face, the conversation was able to go on without being eliminated by the sound-absorbing equipment. Suddenly, there was a clatter of liquid, and the viscous liquid ticked into the water with a crisp sound, Jill Si could not help taking a step back, he knew that the consultant had sat up in his ice coffin,

"Got it." The consultant said wearily, "I will wake up others."

"So...may I go." Giles said cautiously,

"Go." The consultant ended the conversation,

Gills crawled and rushed along the path. This time he deviated again and hit the steel member heavily, but he ignored the pain, and climbed in the direction of the elevator in the impression of his hands and feet. Go, when he touched the flat wall, he felt great relaxation, and the moment he found the elevator button, his whole soul was singing, and the sliding door slowly opened. In order not to disturb the consultant, the lights in the elevator It didn’t turn on, Giles rushed into the elevator, pressed the up button, and sat down in the corner, breathing heavily,

Ten seconds later, the elevator door opened again, the dazzling light enveloped him, Giles burst into tears and smiled,

"Is it that exaggeration to take an elevator." Two first-round operators bypassed the passage, one with a weird expression,

"Shhh...he's going to invite a big man, you don't know how scary it is." The other made a silent gesture,

"Oh...I hope we won't have that day, and if there is something, don't take your turn." The first person suddenly realized,

The director of the third bureau turned around in the middle of the hall like a trapped beast. He saw Giles walking slowly and greeted him and asked: "Have you finished waking up?"

"According to the operating procedures, the first consultant was awakened." Giles replied, panting, "I still don't understand why I can't wake up remotely..."

"Consultants are very precious weapons, sensitive and fragile at the same time. From a security point of view, this process is necessary and hard work." The secretary's frown did not stretch, and he patted Giles on the shoulder to show encouragement. ,

In the dark room, it took the first consultant fifteen minutes to get rid of the weakness caused by light hibernation, slowly moved his legs out of the coffin, and opened the second, third, and fourth consecutively. With an ice coffin, the air-conditioning system was released to increase the power of the air-conditioning system, and then the dehumidifier started to work. For a while, the room seemed a little noisy. The first consultant returned to his coffin and covered his ears with dripping hands irritably.

Finally, the recovery process is over. The black room calms down. The first consultant issued instructions to the other three consultants through the neural interface. Then he lay down, the lid of the coffin slowly closed, and the liquid oxyfluorocarbon began to be injected into the coffin. Liquid is poured into the lungs from the nostrils, liquid breathing replaces gaseous breathing,

In this coffin that completely deprives the senses, the first adviser connected to the quantum network and landed in the "world". In that world, the pupils of a big figure dilated, and then the Qingming was restored. He looked at the thousands of subjects who worshipped under him. , Sighed softly,
